carbohydrate breakdown

Nutrition is one of the most important and most often overlooked parts of taking care of your body, whether you are seeking to gain muscle mass or lose fat. Without a proper diet, you will not see results and your body s systems will not function to the best of their ability. The basic rule of weight management is that of caloric excesses and deficits.

If you consume more than is needed to maintain your current physique, you have a caloric excess. This will translate into fat, or, if you are training correctly, muscle mass, under anabolic (muscle-building) conditions. If you consume less than is needed, or burn part of that, your body will compensate from your reserves of fat, and sometimes muscle if you have trained incorrectly, when your body will enter a catabolic (muscle breakdown) state..
